LOUIS MORESCO
A native son of San Joaquin County
who has been actively interested in horticulture from early youth, Louis
Moresco was born on the ranch where he now makes his home on March 28, 1900 a
son of Antonio and Mary Moresco, both natives of Genoa, Italy. Antonio Moresco came to California from his
native country while still a young man and worked for wages until he was able,
by the strictest economy, to purchase a place of his own. He bought forty-five acres on the Calaveras
River north of Stockton and set it out to fruit; this was about twenty-seven
years ago. There are five children in
the family: Louis, the eldest, Angeline,
Ralph, Claude and Ray. Their father
passed away some eleven years ago, while the mother still lives on the home
place. Louis Moresco attended the August
district school on the Waterloo Road and is now the manager of the Moresco
estate, which consists of thirty-five acres, all of which is devoted to
different kinds of fruits; the ranch having a splendid irrigation system.
The marriage of Mr. Moresco occurred
in Stockton on December 9, 1921 and united him with Miss Edith Sanguinetti,
born in the Waterloo district of San Joaquin County, a
daughter of Benjamin and Mary Sanguinetti, both natives of Italy. Mrs. Moresco was educated in the Waterloo
grammar school. Mr. Moresco has erected
a comfortable and commodious bungalow residence on the ranch, where they
reside. In politics he is a Republican,
and fraternally is affiliated with the Eagles Lodge in Stockton.
